How does Jiu-jitsu work at BJA?

Using the principles of leverage and intelligence over brute strength, our Jiu-Jitsu is about effective problem solving under pressure with functional movement. Students will learn safe methods of employing the mechanical advantage, using fulcrums and levers, body/bio mechanics, combining well-timed movements, efficiency, training methods and strategies. This type of intelligent training will not only lower the frequency and severity of injuries, but will also lower the amount of energy one expends to accomplish their objectives, and show them how to get more enjoyment out of their Jiu-jitsu training. It does not rely on strength, size, or speed, but rather on the intelligent use of strategy and technique to overcome such physical attributes. You will sweat, lose weight, decrease your body fat, develop and tone your muscles, gain flexibility and mobility, increase your balance, agility, energy and endurance levels, decrease stress, and increase your brain function, centeredness and focus. Not to mention improve your self-confidence, self-esteem, self-discipline, health and over-all mood.
